Description
Mobile laboratory from Infinity Chassis Units bring advanced scientific capabilities directly to the point of need. Whether for environmental monitoring, emergency diagnostics, field research, or industrial testing, our self-contained mobile lab solutions deliver laboratory-grade precision anywhere in the world.
What is a Mobile Laboratory?
A mobile laboratory is a fully functional scientific facility integrated into a vehicle, trailer, or container. Unlike fixed-site labs, mobile labs offer rapid deployment, immediate on-site analysis, and operational flexibility in remote or challenging environments.
Why mobile labs?
-
Eliminate sample transport delays and degradation
-
Real-time results for critical decision-making
-
Cost-effective compared to permanent infrastructure
-
Flexible deployment for multiple mission types
Our Mobile Laboratory Platforms
We offer three scalable platform options, each engineered for specific operational needs:
1. Van-Based Mobile Labs
Built on premium chassis (Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, MAN, Iveco), these units offer exceptional maneuverability for rapid response and urban deployments.
Best for:
-
Mobile water quality testing
-
Food safety inspections
-
Point-of-care medical diagnostics
-
Community health outreach
Price range: $85,000 – $180,000
2. Trailer-Based Mobile Labs
Dedicated laboratory space independent of the tow vehicle. Greater interior space at lower cost, ideal for semi-permanent field stations.
Best for:
-
Environmental soil analysis
-
Agricultural research
-
Public health screening campaigns
-
Industrial site assessments
Price range: $70,000 – $250,000
3. Containerized Laboratory Modules
20ft or 40ft ISO container modules offering maximum equipment density and durability. Interconnectable to form larger laboratory complexes.
Best for:
-
Full-scale laboratory operations
-
Military and defense applications
-
Disaster response
-
Long-term field campaigns
Price range: $150,000 – $400,000+

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a mobile lab cost?
From $85,000 for a basic van-based unit to $400,000+ for a fully equipped containerized laboratory. Contact us for a custom quote.
Can you build BSL-2 mobile labs?
Yes. We design labs meeting BSL-2 containment requirements with Class II biosafety cabinets, directional airflow, and sealed surfaces.
How are sensitive instruments secured during transit?
Custom vibration-dampening mounting platforms, integrated restraint systems, and shock-absorbing isolator feet ensure instrument safety.
What is the lead time for a containerized lab?
Typically 5-7 months from order to shipping, including procurement, modification, system installation, and factory testing.
Do you offer mobile lab trailers for sale?
Yes. Trailers offer greater interior space and can be stationed semi-permanently at field sites.
